Thanks

If it's a 1960 car I assume it's a 105e. From memory, I think you move the gear lever over to the left, lift it slightly and move it down to the left. A current 105e owner might prove me wrong though!

On my E93A, I'm fairly sure it was opposite first - left-lift-push away from you (i.e. where first is now on a modern box). It was 1972, however...

My 100e (1960) is as Rooster says - There are only three gears you see! However the 105e is across the car to far right in the neutral plane, lift slightly then back towards you. Stick ends up adjacent to left thigh

That's me in my place then! Must be 40 years since I've driven one.
